GPU: Radeon RX-480 4GB 16GB RAM CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 Hello, this issue continues since I purchased the card (around 2016). It mainly occurs in CS:GO after roughly 20 minutes of gameplay. Everything freezes, and I can't use alt tab or anything—I have to restart my computer. I checked the system events and only this (screenshot) seems connected. This problem hasn't appeared in other games except a few times since 2016. CS:GO seems to be the main culprit. I suspect it could be a driver or GPU issue, but over the years I've only found one effective fix. My theory is that disabling "Fast start-up" resolved it completely, leading me to believe AMD drivers are the cause. I recall hearing that PCs sometimes don't power down fully before booting quickly, which might trigger a driver bug when fast startup is active. I'm using the latest Adrenalin 22.5.1 drivers. Anyone know how to fix this without turning off fast start-up? I've tried other solutions: DDU, a completely different PC, experimental Adrenalin drivers, and even shouting at my computer after freezing during ranked matches. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Welcome to the forums!!! As others have previously mentioned, this issue is related to AMD Ryzen Master, AMD's CPU overclocking software. Try uninstalling this and see if your computer still crashes. There's really no reason to have this installed unless you're using it to overclock, which you can do the same in BIOS and be more stable.
